1 answer

To find out how much Mr. Brown spends on rent, we first need to calculate how much he spends on food, transport, and bills.

Food: 1/4 of $1440 = $360
Transport: 30% of $1440 = 0.30 x $1440 = $432
Bills: 30% of $1440 = 0.30 x $1440 = $432

Now, let's add up his expenses on food, transport, and bills to find out how much he has spent in total so far.
$360 (food) + $432 (transport) + $432 (bills) = $1224

To find out how much he has spent on rent, we subtract the total amount spent on food, transport, and bills from his monthly salary.
$1440 (monthly salary) - $1224 (spent on food, transport, and bills) = $216

Therefore, Mr. Brown spends $216 on rent.
